There was a time I was down, down I didn't know what to do I was just stumbling around, around Thinking things could not improve I couldn't look on the bright side Of anything at all That's when you gave me a call Now I feel better, better, better than before I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more And there were times I was sure, so sure I couldn't turn it around I couldn't care any more About the good things I found That's when you gave me a reason To make me smile again I only have to see you and then I feel better, better, better than before I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more I feel better, better, better than before I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more Life sometimes seems to get the best of you Like everything just brings you down Just when you think there's nothing you can do A friendly face will bring you around And you'll feel better You'll feel better, you'll feel better, Better than before You'll feel better, much better No you won't get down any more
